Excellant cottage in good location for a bit of both sea and countryside not far for local attractions . A Excellant location for families very safe for all ages and the cottage had everything needed for a good holiday . Well worth the money we pay and excellent effort by both the owner and cleaning service company . Would definitely book again .

My family and I loved staying in Slapton Devon. Otter Cottage was very comfortable and our host came and introduced himself on arrival to ensure everything was to our liking. The interior of the cottage is a little dated but very comfortable, the bed were very very comfortable. There was a slight damp smell in the living room which I would expect from such an old building but this did impact my daughter in law who has Asthma. There is parking for two cars. Thank You. There are some stunning views from the gardens during the daytime and in the evening, I recommend a walk to the gardens and watch the stars, we were very fortunate to witness a meteor shower and shooting stars during our stay. The children really appreciated the games room in the evenings to play table tennis and darts. The cottage is a 2 mile drive to Slapton and Screte beach this beach has toilets and a lovely little café bar situated on the beach. another 2 miles drive to "Blackpool Sands" which has beach shops and café and toilet facilities. I would recommend visiting Dartmouth which is approximately 7 mile drive, we booked a steam and ferry experience which took us to Payton which I would highly recommend.

Some basic equipment needs replacing. Frying pans unusable, microwave rusty, 2nd ensuite shower sealants stained with black mould. The downstairs toilet flush was temperamental and a handtowel for this cloakroom would have been appreciated. These simple and relatively cheap things let down the cottage. The kitchen floor had ground in dirt by base of unit and the door handles were sticky, otherwise the cleaning was good. The shared garden was lovely, though the duck house was wrecked and the ducks had vanished. Despite the above, we loved the cottage. It was spacious and comfortable and perfect for 2 large families. With a little more TLC and basic maintenance we would have given it a 10

A comfortable cottage on a farm complex with other cottages. Large garden area, safe for little ones. Quite remote making it peaceful. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and fresh bed linen and towels. Host responsive and helpful. Thank you

Had a good time but the cottage was very dated. The furniture was old and not great and some things need replacing. Would have been handy to know about the roads very scary at first.

Large, comfortable cottage in a peaceful setting. Within easy reach of Slapton, but anything else is at least a 20 minute drive. Ideal if you don't mind being off the beaten track.

The cottage is dog friendly but dogs must be kept on a lead within the gardens at all times. This might not be best for lively dogs/pups who need to run off lead!

An excellent cottage set in a lovely location. The pictures don't do it justice. The cottage was clean and very well equipped with excellent showers. The cottage is set in lovey grounds with a beautiful communal garden. Only one issue was the sound insulation between the second bedroom and the neighbouring (Oak) cottage. The cottage is semi-detached in a courtyard. You can hear everything in the next cottage/next bedroom and presumably visa versa. Unfortunately we had the neighbouring holiday makers arguing throughout the night on one occasion. Also with the courtyard set up, whilst it looks lovely, falls foul to inconsiderate users. Again the same cottage holidaymakers noted above chose to let their dogs roam the courtyard untethered which meant the other two cottages had to have their front doors closed. If you get good neighbours this cottage is 10/10 ideal in every sense.

Lovely cottage in a peaceful setting, spacious and well equipped. Only downfall was the WiFi. Internet access was only at one end of the house as the 2nd Wifi didn't work. So really internet was only working in the lounge and hallway. Issue couldn't be fixed until after we left, which was a shame. Nice place otherwise.
